Wooster Place Services

Lifestyle
Residents are expected to abide by all Federal, State and local laws and ordinances, and all policies established by Fort Hays State University, including those contained in the Student Code of Conduct and the Wooster Place Handbook.

The apartments are smoke free. Smoking is not allowed either inside the apartments or outside on porches and stairwells.

Data and Phone
Direct connection to both the Ethernet server and the telephone system of the University are in place at no extra charge. Telephone service includes local calling, voice mail and caller ID. Residents may initiate long distance calls either by calling “collect” or using a calling card.

Meal Plans
Apartment residents may purchase a meal plan through the Office of Student Residential Life. All meal plans are useable in either McMindes Dining Hall or the Union Station.

Cable Television
Basic cable television service, plus Black Entertainment Television and Univision are furnished to each apartment at no charge. Residents may contract individually with Eagle Communications, a local cable company, for premium channel service.

Mail
A postal kiosk complete with an individual letter box for each apartment, and with parcel boxes, is centrally located in the Wooster Place complex, near the laundromat. Residents pick up their postal box keys directly from the United States Postal Service office located at Eighth and Fort Streets. Keys may be returned to the Postal Service when moving from Wooster Place.


Utilities
All utilites except for the electricity are included in the monthly rate. Electricity is provided by Midwest Energy. Residents must contact Midwest Energy directly at (785) 625-3437 to arrange for service.

Laundry Facilities
A laundromat equipped to operate either with coins or the Tiger Card is located adjacent to Building C. A limited amount of clothesline is located just behind building C. Individual apartments are not quipped with washers or dryers, and their installation is not permitted.

Parking
WOOSTER PLACE RESIDENTS MAY PARK ONLY IN WOOSTER RESERVED AREAS. Each eligible resident must purchase a reserved parking tag from the University Police for each vehicle kept on campus. However, SPECIAL USE VEHICLES, such as motorcycle trailers, boat trailers, or camping trailers, MAY NOT BE PARKED IN A REGULAR PARKING SPACE. Individuals with vehicles of this sort must contact the University Police for directions to a suitable parking location.

Maintenance
The apartments are completely maintained by the University. Maintenance work will be performed promptly and professionally. Repair requests should be placed with the Office of Student Residential Life, Room 114 Agnew Hall, 785.628.4245, srl@fhsu.edu.

The term “maintenance” includes painting and repairs of every sort but it does not include housekeeping. The residents of each apartment are responsible for their own housekeeping.

Trash Removal and Pest Control
Trash dumpsters and recycling bins are centrally located in the apartment complex area. Recycling bins are for clean paper and cardboard only. Pest control for insects and rodents is supplied to the University on a contract basis. Residents are encouraged to request service promptly if it is needed by contacting the Office of Student Residential Life, Room 114 Agnew Hall, 785.628.4245, srl@fhsu.edu.
